Echnaton And The Miracle

Echnaton And The Miracle

A Poem by Leslie Philibert
"

a strange poem, maybe

"
Lost in Times Square he notes
That the heavens are looking down.

His eyes too dry to be wide
His mouth open with sand
His face made of stone

Look, what do you see ?

Aton`s chair, the holy place,
The highest in the sky.

He answers ;
I thought there was only one.

There are so many layers to peel away...it's an intriguing write, indeed!~xoxo~:)

The way I take this one is that in times square there are tourists from all over the world buzzing by and with diverse faiths and backgrounds. The religious shock and the cultural ones are evident sir in this wonderful poem. I could be wrong but that is what I got from it...:).............

Maybe I'm crazy, but the picture that surfaced in my head was about a guy failing to commit suicide... I'm sure that's way off from the original intention of this poem, but what it triggered in my head was kind of beautiful in the darkest sense. Another favorite of mine, thanks for your words.
